Perhaps someone learned a lesson from the war in Vietnam after all.
From the New York Times:
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who regularly advises President Bush on Iraq, said today that a full military victory was no longer possible there. He thus joined a growing number of leading conservatives openly challenging the administration's conduct of the war and positive forecasts for it.
"If you mean, by 'military victory,' an Iraqi government that can be established and whose writ runs across the whole country, that gets the civil war under control and sectarian violence under control in a time period that the political processes of the democracies will support, I don't believe that is possible," Mr. Kissinger told BBC News.
If victory is not possible, the withdrawl is the only option.
Now, before the 'cut and run' argument can be drug out, let's remember this- we never should have invaded Iraq in the first place.
